Ingredients
  

  • 3 medium zucchini thinly sliced
  • 1 small onion finely chopped
  • 1 cup sour cream or Greek yogurt
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar or Swiss cheese divided
  • ½ cup breadcrumbs or panko
  • 2 tablespoons fresh dill chopped (or 1 teaspoon dried dill)
  • 2 tablespoons butter melted
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Salt and black pepper to taste

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with butter or oil.
  • Wash and dry zucchini, slice into ¼-inch thick rounds.
  • Sprinkle zucchini lightly with salt and let sit 10 minutes to draw out excess moisture.
  • Pat zucchini dry with a paper towel.
  • In a large bowl, mix sour cream (or yogurt), half of the cheese, garlic powder, chopped dill, salt, and pepper.
  • Stir in zucchini and chopped onion until evenly coated.
  • Pour zucchini mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread evenly.
  • Sprinkle remaining cheese on top.
  • Mix breadcrumbs with melted butter and sprinkle over the cheese layer.
  • Bake uncovered for 30–35 minutes until bubbly and golden on top.
  • Optional: broil for 2–3 minutes at the end for extra crispiness, watching carefully.
  • Let casserole rest for a few minutes before serving to set the layers.

Notes

Drain zucchini thoroughly to prevent a watery casserole.
Use fresh dill for a more vibrant flavor.
Mix cheeses for a richer taste (cheddar, Swiss, or Gruyère).
Spread zucchini evenly in the dish for uniform cooking.
Best served warm; leftovers reheat well in the oven.
